Please forgive me. I can control myself. You caught me off guard. But I’m on my best behavior now.

When you walked past me, I could have ruined everything Carlisle has built for us, right then and there. If I hadn’t been denying my thirst for the last, well, too many years, I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself.

Sometimes I have a problem with my temper, Bella.

Go stop Jessica and Angela before I have to track them down, too. I don’t think I could restrain myself if I ran into your other friends again.

She wants to know if we’re secretly dating. And she wants to know how you feel about me.

Jessica’s analyzing everything I do — she’ll break it down for you later.

In that one hour, I thought of a hundred different ways to lure you from the room with me, to get you alone. And I fought them each back, thinking of my family, what I could do to them. I had to run out, to get away before I could speak the words that would make you follow…

I hope you were more creative this time… or are you still stealing from comic books?

So you faint at the sight of blood?
